I was nervous every time I saw one of the workers surfing on an ordinary pallet while being lifted to 20'feet above the concrete floor to change lights or whatever. He might or might not be holding onto some part of the forklift. I bought a nice mancage with safety harness etc., naively thinking they'd like it. Wrong, they refuse to get in it and want to wait until I'm off on an errand, when they'll go pallet surfing again. They won't give a reason for refusing to use it. What do I do? The only thing I can do is strap in and ride the cage myself while one of then drives the forklift. I'm not their hire/fire boss unfortunately or both might be gone, but help of any kind is very hard to find here, so for various reasons replacing them isn't an option. So I'm just asking if anyone else has had workers flatly refuse to use safety equipment?
